I think we all hear some of the back room mummers depending on who we |
| 22 |
talk to. Some of us hear more then others, some less. However, we all |
| 23 |
have friends that we feel that we can talk to fairly freely about |
| 24 |
these issues. |

I'm going to call bullshit on this one, I don't believe you have 4 |
| 33 |
fours (i have one!). |
| 34 |
Erm, what this isn't the game of bullshit? Oh well...erm *runs* Its |
| 35 |
not that no one wants to do anything, its that they've seen that if |
| 36 |
someone does stand up and take on the vocal minority. That being that |
| 37 |
they are the ones that actually get beaten up by the very ones who |
| 38 |
acquiescence and allow that minority to continue to do what they do. |
| 39 |
If you have an issue, stand up and quite honestly, have the balls to |
| 40 |
take the issue up with the people you have it with. I full expect |
| 41 |
people to come talk to me if they have issues, with me or anyone. I'm |
| 42 |
willing to listen either way. I'd like to think everyone else feels |
| 43 |
the same. |
